Free Upgrade to Business Class on Aeroflot

Aeroflot Russian Airlines introduced a premium economy “Comfort Class” last year that provides a hybrid between business and economy similar to Air France’s Premium Economy product. Through the end of August, Aeroflot is offering Comfort Class passengers a free upgrade to business class on the shorter leg of their intercontinental journey via Moscow.

You get Comfort Class on the long flight and business class on the shorter flight.

What makes this offer is interesting is that Aeroflot actually has a decent business class product on their short and medium-haul flights. Unlike most of its European competition, Aeroflot has a nice(er) business class seat on short and medium-haul flights akin to domestic first class in the USA and Canada.

I’ve flown Aeroflot business before and found the food and service to far exceed my expectations – this is not the Soviet airline of yesteryear. Some destinations in this offer even offer an international business class style seat.
